The Victorian Council for Greek National Day has announced the election of its new Executive Committee, following the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on Monday, 5 May 2025, at Axion Estin in Northcote, Victoria. 

Representing the diverse Hellenic communities, schools, and organisations of Victoria, the Council proudly continues its mission to honour and celebrate Greek Independence Day on March 25th each year with dignity, pride, and unity. 

The newly elected Executive Committee is: 

  • Chair: Sophia Siachos

  • Assistant Secretary: Dean Kalymniou 
  • Treasurer: Arthur Andronas
  • Master of Ceremonies (Greek): Katerina Poutachidou

Several members of the new Executive Committee return after having served on the previous committee. United by a shared vision, they are determined to build upon the success of this year’s event and work toward a full return to Melbourne’s iconic Shrine district for future commemorations.

In the lead-up to the AGM, the outgoing committee proactively invited constructive feedback from the community. They acknowledged areas for improvement and committed to addressing these by enhancing communication, refining event protocols, and upholding a spirit of transparency and collaboration with all  stakeholders. 

With a renewed spirit and shared commitment, the new committee looks forward to working  collaboratively with all community partners to deliver meaningful and inspiring celebrations in 2025 and beyond.
